With Christianity 2.2 billion followers the race of religion is led by the belief of God is on their side. However, God is shown in various religious in the race to overtake the world largest religion. Christians come to conclusion that there is only one god and that its on their side, when God was a foundation that was started before Christianity was even created. Christians came to identify as God as a Christian solely through one perspective. Withal, in “Is god a Christian”, Mr. Godsey is trying to show fellow Christian believers to conclude that Christianity is not the only religion that is God-inspired and to examine their faith and consider less judgmental and more openly to faith inspire others. The book was written to address the difficulty …show more content…

Godsey does not think that God is a Christian. He does not believe he is not a Christian because they are different experience of god then just God as a Christian. Furthermore, most of human creations were not Christians leaving conflicts and abstractions among us. It led to conflicts that left Mr. Godsey disgusted with the loud, ugly, and condescending rhetoric slanders of the Christian church on gays and lesbian. Such hostility, led to other religion devoted believers to conclude that violence to other faith and their own by guiding airlines into building for the devotion of Allah was acceptable. I agree that God is not a Christian, because God was around long before Christianity was around. Therefrom, God in Christianity is very judgmental against other humans being such as gays, lesbian and fundamentalism when everyone has their own belief. For this reason, no one can say what is right and wrong when there is so many contradictions on everything God has …show more content…

It was learned that faith is a tradition in every religion and that reciting affirmation was the only way to the holy land. However, Jesus word is not words spoken from every one of us instead of only Gods words. Instead, their faith turned into thinking self-centered, anarchistic religion that was unjust the becoming of any religions devotee. The self-centeredness was exactly what God was trying to get people to overcome, despite the integrity of faiths. Jesus teaching were for the well being of his followers and to connect with one another instead of diminishing each other belief. Conversely, the world believers came to the rise of fundamentalism with certain devotee misguiding the bible and resorting to radical distortion to try to bring morality in an immoral way. Such devotion, has caused epidemics across the globe with people doing unjust actions for a substitute of wrongdoings. The foundation has been misguided and the faith of religions have been taken so literal, that devotee have been trying to find an alternative for their exemption of their sins. As a result, fundamentalist have used the distortion of their faith and lives to try to obtain access to holy immorality

  • Analysis Of God Behaving Badly By David Lamb

    908 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the first chapter of God Behaving Badly, David Lamb argues that God is unfairly given a bad reputation. He claims these negative perceptions are fueled by pop culture and lead many to believe the lie that the God of the Old Testament is angry, sexist, racist, violent, legalistic, rigid, and distant. These negative perceptions, in turn, affect our faith. Ultimately, Lamb seeks to demonstrate that historical context disproves the presumptuous aforementioned. In addition, he defends his position by citing patterns of descriptions that characterize God throughout the Old Testament. “Our image of God will directly affect how we either pursue or avoid God. If we believe that the God of the Old Testament is really harsh, unfair and cruel, we won’t want anything to do with him” (Lamb 22). Clearly, they way Christians choose to see God will shape their relationship with Him.

  • God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens

    1309 Words  | 3 Pages

    Morality and ethics have always been a large source of debate and contention between different factions of various interests, beliefs, and ideals due to its centrality and foundational role in society and civilization and incredible importance to everyday life and decision making. In many of these disputes religious belief, or a lack thereof, serves as an important driving force behind one or both sides of the argument. In the modern world, one of the bigger instances of this can be seen in the many debates between Atheistic and religious individuals about the implications of religious belief on morality. One of the most famous Atheists, Christopher Hitchens, asserts that religion is not only unnecessary for morality, but actually impedes it. In his work God is Not Great: Why Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens challenges religious believers to “name an ethical statement or action, made or performed by a person of faith that could not have been made or performed by a non-believer”, and proudly states afterwards that many have made the attempt but no one has given him a satisfactory answer. However, the best response to this challenge is to point out the inherent flaws in his logic, the unfairness of his challenge, and the fact that Hitchens is asking the wrong question in the first place.

  • The Demonstration Of The Apostolic Preaching

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the first 400 years that Christianity was present in the world it changed dramatically. It started small in an area near the eastern Mediterranean area but within these 400 years, it grew to encompass the whole of the Mediterranean and its surrounding. Throughout this time of growth, there was also much change within the beliefs of Christianity with the main belief centering around Jesus Christ. While Christianity grew and made it to new areas it was introduced to new people that interpreted the different scriptures and preaching of what it meant to be a Christian. Some of the most influential writings in these years came from Irenaeus of Lyons, a second-century writer, Christian, theologian, and bishop. He expressed his beliefs of what made a Christian a Christian within his writing. One of his most famous writings, The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, highlights the idea of the Holy Trinity and the Rule of Faith in the interpretation of the bible. Irenaeus believed that the Rule of Faith was ultimately necessary and required when reading and interpreting the word of Christianity saying, in the words of Isaiah, “If ye believe not, neither shall ye understand” (paragraph 3). In the eyes of Irenaeus, the Rule of Faith is one of the main things that makes a Christian a Christian.

  • God's Bits of Wood by Sembene Ousmane

    1029 Words  | 3 Pages

    The novel God's Bits of Wood by Sembene Ousmane is an account of the strike Senegalese trainworkers underwent in pursuit of equal benefits and compensation from their French employers. In an effort to coerce the workers into returning to their jobs, the French cut off the water and food supply to the three villages wherein these events transpire: Thies, Dakar, and Bamako. Ousmane's novel explores the way in which these hardships evolve the worker's and their families till the strike is ultimately resolved. Arguably the most significant transformation that takes place is in the role of women within these societies. Prior to the strike, the women were expected to be subservient to their husband, with exclusively domestic roles consisting of cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children. As a result of the strike and the famine that accompanied it, the women were forced to alter their role to provide food for their families. The goals of the men in women differed in that the men were fighting for equality and better pay, whereas the women were fighting a battle for their own and their children's survival. So despite the fact that the declaration of strike and refusal to work until their demands were met was the campaign of the men, it was the women who ultimately forced the Frenchmen to see their resolve and succumb to their demands.

  • Definition Essay – Defining God

    The concept of God can be a difficult one to grasp especially in today's world - a world in which anyone that believes in God is trying to define exactly what God is. To even attempt to grasp such a concept, one must first recognize his own beliefs in respect to the following questions: Is God our creator? Is God omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing) or both? Does God care? Is God with us? Does God interfere with life on earth? These questions should be asked and carefully answered if one should truly wish to identify his specific beliefs in God's existence and persistence.

  • Is Religious Fundamentalism Always Totalitarian and Prone to Violence?

    1863 Words  | 4 Pages

    Religious Fundamentalism is not a modern phenomenon, although, it has received a rise in the late twentieth century. It occurs differently in different parts of the world but arises in societies that are deeply troubled or going through a crisis (Heywood, 2012, p. 282). The rise in Religious Fundamentalism can be linked to the secularization thesis, which implies that victory of reason over religion follows modernization. Also, the moral protest of faiths such as Islam and Christianity can be linked to the rise of Religious Fundamentalism, as they protest the influence of corruption and pretence that infiltrate their beliefs from the spread of secularization (Heywood, 2012, p. 283). Religious Fundamentalists have followed a traditional political thought process, yet, have embraced a militant style of activity which often can turn violent (Heywood, 2012, p. 291).
